Model and Restoration tips?

[cao117]

Hi picked these up for cheap and I am looking for some details around what model these are? I think they could be e, c or a wire but not sure. Also they’re a bit moldy and starting to corrode and the nosepieces are yellowed and i think they need ear rubber pieces. Any tips on restoring these? thanks!

Its an a wire.

I would strip the nose pads out and throw them away. You can get those from eBay. Remove the lenses and if they are still good, set them aside.

I'll assume you dont have an untersonic cleaner so just get a soft toothbrush and warm water and scrub the frame until its clean.

As stated above, get nose pads from eBay. Earsocks can be found there as well but they tend to fit weird. Lenses are around on ebay as well but they tend to fit poorly as well.

A wire 2.0 to be exact

thanks for the tips. ear socks fit weird as in people run these without them? lenses are okay not that great tbh but probably good enough for now. def needs to be striped down and cleaned with new nose pads tho lol love the look so far. i want some e or t wire next

Some of the earsocks that can be found on ebay fit very loose. The hole in the center is to large so they spin on the ear stem and feel weird.

If someone still has OEM earsocks, go with those. You can wear them without them, but they will slide around alot.
